Chapter 2164 Determination and Message (4,000 Words)

Is it time?

Or do you still need to hide it for a while?

Naruto is still young after all.

Frowning tightly, the Third Hokage put down the report on the B-level mission to the Land of Waves in his hand, turned his eyes slightly and looked at the crystal ball, feeling more hesitant in his heart.

At this moment, in the crystal ball, the blond and blue-eyed boy seemed to be protesting strongly with the ninja who was dispatching the mission. The white-haired young man beside him subconsciously raised his hands and raised them in front of his chest. He made a persuasive gesture. Judging from his exposed eyes, his facial expression was basically a look of apology.

The handsome young man with black hair had closed his eyes and crossed his chest. Although his face had no expression and was as silent as ever, for some reason, there was a feeling of "I don't know this guy" floating around.

As for the pink-haired girl, the veins on her forehead were now bulging. Although she tried her best to look like a lady, her unnatural expression and the words "Naruto! It's so noisy!" were almost written on her face. .

"Ah……"

But with this unintentional glance, the doubts in the Third Hokage's heart faded a lot, and he couldn't help but laugh.

Perhaps, this B-level mission can already explain some of the situation.

There is no guarantee that Naruto can already bear this power.

At the same time, such a thought flashed through his mind.

However, when this idea came to his mind, his eyes fell on the white-haired young man with the mask, as well as the handsome black-haired boy and the pink-haired girl.

This situation seemed to remind him of someone, someone, or something.

It seems that similar things happened in the past, and this similar things finally achieved quite good results.

Um……

Is it time?

And with his thoughts, the Third Hokage slowly began to think about it.

The power of the Kyuubi, regardless of Naruto's identity,

His parents, and how important his parents are, how much they have contributed to the village, since the Kyuubi is sealed in his body, then he must master the power of the Kyuubi.

The power of the tailed beasts originally existed as a force to balance the various villages.

Every Jinchuuriki must exert the power of the tailed beast, even if it is incomplete power, it must be mastered.

In other words, Naruto will have to learn to use the power of the Nine-Tails sooner or later, at least like Master Mito and his mother, who can control the seal and use the Chakra of the Nine-Tails freely.

However, this power is too huge and too heavy. If you don't have a strong enough heart, you can't bear it. If you can't bear it, you will be swallowed by this power.

The Kyuubi is also the most special one among the nine tailed beasts. Its power and chakra seem to contain hatred and resentment that other tailed beasts cannot match. If the heart is not strong enough, then it is very likely that the Kyuubi will be killed. Swallowed by the darkness of Tail Power.

These are the messages left by Uzumaki Mito-sama, the first Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki. Kushina also said similar things.

To control the Nine-Tails Chakra, even if it is a preliminary use, while using that power, you must also bear the various negative emotions brought by the Chakra, such as hatred, such as resentment...

Without a strong heart, even if you can use the Nine-Tails Chakra, it will only lead to violence step by step.

The reason why the Third Hokage has been saying nothing and doing nothing is, apart from protecting Naruto's current life, another consideration is the duality of the power of the Nine-Tails.

The power of the Nine Tails is a very huge force. Even if you don't learn any other ninjutsu, just mastering this power will make you one of the top ninjas in the ninja world. And power has two sides. .

For an individual, if he has this power and masters the power of the Nine Tails, then he will definitely become stronger and be able to protect the people he wants to protect, or achieve the goals that can be achieved through power, especially in this dark and treacherous world. In this world, we have gained the foundation to settle down and live our lives. This is the positive side.

However, at the same time, this power also has side effects, which are the negative aspects it brings to the individual, both internally and externally.

Internally, the power itself is mixed with negative emotions proportional to its size. If the heart is not strong enough, the spiritual will will be corroded. Basically, using this power is a chronic suicide.

Moreover, power itself is a burden. After possessing strong power, people's mentality will also change. Some people's nature will be amplified, and emotions such as arrogance, selfishness, greed, etc. will also be amplified. It is easy to fall into the trap because of power. If you go astray, you will end up in disaster, or because you no longer have the most basic caution, you will be devoured in this treacherous world, leaving no bones left.

Externally, because of the transferability of the power of the Nine Tails, the Jinchuuriki who become tailed beasts will always face the deepest malice in the world. Some people covet this power, even the major forces in the world today. Most of the factors in the balance between them are due to the power of the tailed beasts, because the power of the tailed beasts exists and is evenly distributed to the major ninja villages to check and balance each other.

The power of the nine tails is definitely the key to destroying this balance. By then, whoever obtains the power of the nine tails will almost dominate the ninja world, or in other words, become the overlord of the ninja world.

This means more resources and more security.

No matter who it is, they will flock to it.

It can be said that the power of the tailed beast can make the owner powerful, but it is also a curse.

Without a strong heart, it is impossible to support it.

If Naruto knew this power too early, then with his young mind and such a powerful power sleeping in his body, he might be able to come into contact with this power even if he did not encounter any situation of incompetence and rage.

And Naruto is only in his teens now, having just graduated from the ninja school, and his mind is not yet mature. If he touches this power too early, he will easily lead to destruction.

After all, not everyone has a mind that can withstand all disasters and setbacks and shine like a light on everyone when they graduate from ninja school.

That is just an example and cannot be applied to Naruto.

The two are still far apart.

And it is precisely because Naruto became the Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki, because the Nine-Tails was sealed by the Fourth Hokage himself, and Naruto is the only child of Namikaze Minato and Uzumaki Kushina, so in this matter, The Third Hokage was always extremely cautious when it came to letting Naruto begin to master the power of the Nine-Tails.

It is precisely because of this caution that the Third Hokage always has a lot of concerns about Naruto, and has even been somewhat cautious, fearing that he will ruin Naruto's current life if he is not careful.

He was even more afraid that because Naruto had gained unimaginable power, he would take a path he didn't expect him to take.

Therefore, on this matter, he hesitated, doubted, and was cautious again and again.

As a result, now that Naruto has touched this power and reached a situation where Naruto has to recognize this power, he still can't make up his mind.

"That's fine!"

And watching the blond boy negotiate with the ninja who sent the mission to no avail, he was knocked on the head by the pink-haired girl and dragged away. The handsome black-haired boy seemed to complain "Super" when he looked at the blond boy being dragged away. "Big Idiot" and the white-haired young man apologized profusely. This time, the Third Hokage seemed to have finally made up his mind, took out the blank scroll, dipped in pen and ink, and started writing.

"The Third Hokage-sama."

However, before he could finish writing a few words, the sound in front of the Hokage's desk interrupted the movements in his hands.

Two scrolls were handed to the desk by his assistant.

"This is?"

In response, the Third Hokage was slightly stunned, slowly raised his head, looked at the dedicated Hokage assistant, and asked.

"Concerning the follow-up to the previous intelligence, and the request from there that was just sent today."

Hearing this, the honest and conscientious Hokage assistant thought for a moment, seemed to organize his words, and spoke truthfully.

"Where? The Country of Grass?"

When he heard this, the Third Hokage seemed to have no reaction at all. He was stunned for a moment, but he soon understood that although this assistant was honest and conscientious, he was sometimes not very good at organizing words and had been accompanying him for a long time. the meaning of.

These two scrolls are both from the Kingdom of Grass.

And the request mentioned by his assistant was also the request of the Country of Grass.

The land of grass...

And as he understood the meaning of his assistant's words, the Third Hokage's brows, which had originally relaxed due to his determination, frowned again.

As the Country of Grass, which borders the Country of Fire, it has been closed to the outside world since the end of the Third Ninja War. Although trade with the Country of Fire has not had any impact, the merchants of the Country of Fire still It is possible to conduct trade with the Country of Grass through a few specific bordering towns. However, the military group of the Country of Grass, Kusagakure Village, has severed all ties with Konoha.

And he received reliable news at that time that "it will have little impact on the village, so you don't need to pay too much attention to avoid it being counterproductive."

After that, according to the news, he didn't pay much attention to the matter.

After all, the sudden behavior of the Kingdom of Grass is actually not unprecedented in history. For example, some big countries will also close themselves off. For example, the Kingdom of Water is the internal affairs of some countries. As other countries and forbearance, Village, as long as there is no hostile behavior towards one's own country and village, the best way to deal with it is to let it go.

Otherwise, there are many articles that could be written here. If one of them fails, I am afraid that it will become the target of public criticism.

The current behavior of the Country of Grass clearly shows that it still has a great impression of the Country of Fire.

Trade has had little impact.

Moreover, the daimyo didn't seem to make any special moves, there were no orders from above, and the situation didn't change much. At this time, he could only let it go.

Therefore, there has been no action.

In the past few years, the Kingdom of Grass has maintained this state, and its only connections with the Kingdom of Fire and Konoha are smooth trade.

Now, a request suddenly came from the Country of Grass, which surprised the Third Hokage.

However, surprised, he still opened it and started reading.

"This is……"

After reading the first scroll, the Third Hokage's expression changed slightly, and his eyes instantly focused on the most important words in the scroll.

Haneda Yuzawa?

Grass Hidden Village, new...leader?

At the same time, a shocking thought flashed through his mind.

This first scroll is a public appointment order, with the seal of the Daimyo of the Country of Grass on it. It has all the elements of an appointment order and is absolutely genuine.

The language in this order is quite simple, but the amount of information is quite large.

Kusagakure Village, which has been cut off from Konoha, has changed its leader in just a few years.

Or a strange ninja named Haneda Yuzawa.

And he still remembered that the previous leader of Kusagakure Village had just taken office several years after the Third Ninja World War ended. He was only twenty-six years old, in his prime, and he was also in the Third Ninja World War. The young ninja who was very powerful in the war is also very famous among the big countries.

From now on, the term is only three or four years.

How could there be a sudden change of leader?

Moreover, the appointment certificate did not mention any reason for the dismissal of the previous leader.

Almost subconsciously, the Third Hokage thought of the word "coup". In fact, the reason why the Grass Country closed itself off was because of the coup.

what happened?

What happened over there in the Country of Grass?

Thinking of this, the Third Hokage's brows furrowed even more.

Although the Country of Grass is a small country, and Kusakuin Village is not a great ninja village, the change of the village leader is still a huge matter, and it is impossible for there to be no news at all.

Xiaoren Village belongs to Xiaoren Village, and a small country belongs to a small country. Although there is a small word in it, it does not mean that these forces are insignificant.

On the contrary, during the war, these small countries and small ninja villages were the objects of competition between the big countries and the big ninja villages.

Whether it is a small country or a small ninja village, it is a great help in the war of the ninja world.

No great country or great ninja village would look down upon them.

Precisely because they will not be underestimated, every big country and big ninja village will pay close attention to the change of power of the daimyo of small countries and the replacement of leaders of small ninja villages, and every time there is a change, the big countries and big ninja villages will show their good intentions. and kindness.

After all, small countries and small ninja villages cannot ignore their geographical location and military strength.

Like now, without any reason, without realizing it, a leader was changed, and this leader was also recognized by the daimyo, the same daimyo who recognized the status of the previous leader.

This kind of thing is not common.

Here, there are also many articles and a lot of information.

Moreover, this is a silent change of power, which is enough to alert all forces!

In a sense, there are already organizations or individuals that can quietly subvert the core of power of a small country and small ninja village!
